Chapter 778: BEING HYPNOTIZED
Mu Lan spoke, "I understand your good intention. We have that medicine you are so desperate for; however, it cannot go to the public. Do you want to know why?"
Lu Feng\'s eyes shown desperation. "Tell me why!"
"We think that the world is a better place. Unfortunately, only those who have the evil minds are the most powerful. Once they know there is something like elixir, they will do their best to take it from you. They don\'t care about the innocent children and elders. They will do anything to gain their selfish goals. They will hurt your close ones to take the elixir from you. You might not even see the faces of your loved ones again. After they take the elixir, they will use it for their evil reasons and your dream of helping the innocent people will crash."
She continued giving him a reason, "Moreover, if the elixir cures everyone, the population will increase drastically. Demand for food will increase and supply will decrease, so the price of food will likely jump dramatically. To find more food for this new world, hungry countries will probably turn to the oceans more than ever. Forget about the food, think about the housing and water supplies. The lack of clean water will cause the outbreak of diseases such as cholera and typhoid fever. Water covers 70 percent of the planet, but only three percent of that is freshwater – and most of that is locked up in glaciers and icecaps. The average household uses over 870 liters of water a day for showering, washing our clothes and doing the dishes. A lack of water will stall the housing boom, because it takes more than 300,000 liters of water to make 1 ton of steel. A worldwide building boom would put enormous pressure on the power systems, and coal is one of the quickest solutions. With the massive expansion of our power system, pollution will be increasingly toxic."
Mu Lan stopped and drank a glass of water that was handed by Carlo. Then, she asked, "Doctor Lu Feng, will you really try to destroy the balance of life and death?"
Lu Feng became speechless. He never thought this thoroughly. He couldn\'t say anything for a while. After a while, he said, "But we won\'t know for sure if I don\'t try..."
"You sure sound lifeless to me..." Mu Lan stood up and walked towards him. Then, she sat on the tea table and faced him closely. "Are you sure you want to risk everyone\'s life who is dear to you? Let me tell you this straight first, Mu Family and Lu Family cannot protect your loved ones all the time, when the enemies are more powerful than your army. Trust me on this."
Lu Feng couldn\'t stand her powerful gaze, so he dropped his head. He mumbled, "Yan Su.... She doesn\'t have that much of affection for me anyway. I think she is already pregnant and has aborted our child. She won\'t let anything come against the path she wants to take. She will leave me for sure."
Mu Lan was stunned. "I know that you changed her medicine on purpose but to think you understand her mindset more than us.... It\'s amazing! You are her true love after all. I shouldn\'t be that surprised. I mean, you know her since childhood."
Then, she smiled at him and said, "Guess what? She is pregnant for three months now and she decided to cherish your child."
"What?!" Lu Feng looked up with wide eyes. He was so astonished that he couldn\'t think properly.
She carried on, "She is missing you terribly. Now that she suffers from morning sickness, she has to stay at the Mu Castle for now. She didn\'t say it yet but after knowing that you went missing, she was frightened. She already told us that she would beat you up when she sees you because you made her worry when she was pregnant."
Mu Lan softly asked, "Do you still want to risk your life and leave them forever? Or do you want to hurt them as well?"
A tear drop rolled down from Lu Feng\'s right eye. He had to stomach the news. He still couldn\'t utter a single word. Others didn\'t talk as well. They gave him some time to control his emotion.
Carlo handed Mu Lan another glass of water. She gave it to Lu Feng. Lu Feng took the glass of water. After he finished drinking the whole glass, he wiped his moist mouth. Soon, he relaxed and has full control over his emotion. He began to think properly. After a while, he said, "I think I got to know something that I wasn\'t supposed to know."
Mu Lan smiled. "It seems that your brain started to work. Congratulation!"
Carlo opened his mouth. "I will erase the part that you met us and the plant you were looking for. When you wake up, all you will tell others that you were in a ship in the Caribbean Sea and the ship was destroyed in a storm. After that you woke up in the beach of Costa Rica. Except for that, all of your memories will be intact. Since you saved your little girl, no harm will be done to you."
Lu Feng asked him, "Will you hypnotize me?"
"That\'s what I\'m good at." Carlo curtly replied.
"Alright. Please don\'t erase anything else. I will put my faith in you." Lu Feng became nervous. He was thinking that if the person in front of him didn\'t hypnotize her properly, he might have some major memory loss.
"You are in good hands." Carlo reassured him.
Lu Feng nodded and glanced at Mu Lan. "Sweet little rabbit, you will stay close, right?"
Carlo and Romano\'s nerves twitched once again.
"I definitely will. I cannot let others harm you since you are my doctor." Mu Lan spoke earnestly.
Pedro coughed. He thought, \'If I wasn\'t her doctor, she wouldn\'t talk like a big shot. What a traitor!\'
Carlo said, "Come with me in my chamber."
Lu Feng and Mu Lan followed him.
After he was hypnotized, he had forgotten about the elixir and The Cobra, and also, he never called Mu Lan \'sweet little rabbit\' again.
